SNAP Employment and Training Grant Award Summary

The Kansas Department for Children and Families received a formula grant award of $761,136 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561). This award, designated as a SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) 50% Operational Grant, was obligated on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. The funding supports the operational costs associated with Kansas's SNAP E&T initiatives, which are employment and training programs designed to assist SNAP participants in obtaining employment and achieving economic self-sufficiency.

Under this formula grant, the Kansas Department for Children and Families utilizes the $761,136 to fund administrative expenses and operational activities related to SNAP E&T service delivery. The award represents part of the broader federal formula grant structure for SNAP administration, which includes multiple funding streams for state administrative expenses and employment and training activities. As a formula-based award, the funding is distributed according to established federal allocation methodologies rather than through competitive selection, reflecting the ongoing federal commitment to supporting state-administered SNAP E&T programs.
